To get rid of any protusions or deposits on the plates, I 
recommend
using one of those new nail files the ladies use that are 
made of glass!
They are stiff and flat and will probably fit down into the 
plates and
get adjacent rotor and stator plates!

    I haven't seen one of those. I have a Revlon file which 
is metal and appears to have diamond dust or something 
similar on it. Not the usual metal nail file that looks like 
a small regular file. This one does very smooth work and 
doesn't seem to wear out.  I think this capacitor can be 
saved and used.
    BTW, I'm interested in the discussions of WRL stuff 
because when I was a kid I thought it was probably junk, 
evidently it was not at all.
